Navigate aging on your own terms with confidence and community

Twenty-four million Americans over 50 are aging without a spouse, nearby adult children, or traditional family support -- and that number is growing fast. Solo Aging For Dummies, developed in partnership with AARP, gives you a friendly, practical roadmap for navigating financial planning, healthcare decisions, legal preparation, and community building so you can live your later years with confidence and independence.

You'll find warm, honest guidance on topics most aging resources overlook -- from building a chosen family of trusted friends, neighbors, and professionals to making sure your wishes are honored if you can't speak for yourself. Get tips on staying in your home longer, protecting your finances, and creating a legacy that reflects who you are. This guide meets you wherever you are on the journey.

Inside:

• Explore strategies for building a reliable support network of friends, neighbors, and hired professionals you trust
• Learn how to set up powers of attorney, advance directives, and other legal documents that protect your interests
• Discover housing options that let you maintain independence while keeping help close when you need it
• Find practical approaches to managing healthcare, Medicare decisions, and long-term care planning on your own
• Create a meaningful legacy plan that reflects your values, from financial bequests to personal wishes

Whether you're planning ahead at 50, adjusting course at 80, or solo by choice or circumstance, this Dummies guide has your back. It's also a trusted resource for adult children supporting aging parents and professionals serving this growing community.
